Amy’s Organic Chunky Tomato Bisque Soup

As organic products continue to become more and more popular with today’s American shopper, companies like Amy’s are keeping up with the trend. Not only is this tasty soup USDA certified organic, but you also notice that where soups tend to be high in sodium, this one contains about half that of most brands.

What’s in Elizabeth Hasselbeck’s shopping cart?

This bubbly co-host of The View is an avid label reader, but she's not simply scoping out fat grams and calories. "Last year I learned that I had celiac disease, an autoimmune condition that leaves me unable to digest gluten, a protein found in a lot of grains," says Hasselbeck, who's expecting her second child this month. "Shopping is more of a challenge these days, but I can still find delicious food."

Amy’s Texas Burger

We spend so much time RAVING about Amy's soups and various and sundry frozen entrees and snacks, that we sometimes forget they have a whole line of veggie burgers. So to get reacquainted with them, we ran out and bought a box of Texas Burgers and got busy with our grill pan.

Tomato Sauce!

Store-bough tomato sauce in a jar helps make a quick meal. It's also a good source of vitamins C and A and the cancer-fighting antioxidant lycopene. We sampled 64 organic and natural varieties- and found these four to be the tastiest.

The Nourishers

The Berliner's presciently realized that even crunchy vegetarians can't always get to the farmers' market and prepare a home-cooked meal. For that reason, their company, founded in 1987 and named for their daughter born to them that year, has become America's largest maker of natural and organic frozen foods.

Just Souper

Ladle up a veg version of Thom Kha Phak that'll leave guests begging for the Thai take-out number. This organic explosion of exotic flavors can be found in a can-yes, a can -of latest and possibly tastiest addition, Thai Coconut Soup. Subtly sweet and tart, the spiced coconut milk broth envelops tofu, lemongrass, shiitake mushrooms and other veggies to deliver an authentically smooth taste that's almost as good as trip to Southeast Asia.

Freshly picked . . . from the freezer

This is a frozen apple pie with integrity. The apples are organic, the whole-wheat flour is organic, the dairy is rBST -hormone-free, there is no corn syrup, no GMOs -- actually, the ingredients are pretty much what you would use if you were baking at home.

Chew the right thing

Buy the Pie!
By definition, a shepherd's pie is a baked meat pie with a crust of mashed potatoes. So right off the bat this particular one is a bit unconventional, because it's completely meat-free. As you may or may not know, our close pal Amy (the genius behind this find) makes veggie products, so you won't find meat in anything she puts out.

Salsa Stars

This zesty and healthy chip topper is fast becoming America's favorite condiment. But since all salsas are not created equal, we sought out the best organic mild, hot and wild (read: unconventional) options available. After all, who wants nachos spiked with pesticides? Of the 15 jars we tested, these took the chip.

Brunchaticious

Amy's Kitchen has impressed us again, this time with its Vegetarian Breakfast Patties. These actually taste more like a veggie burger than sausage, thanks to organic vegetables and wheat in place of soy, with just a touch of sausage flavoring.

Pizza upgrades simple, nutritious

Amy's cornmeal crust upgrade: Amy's Kitchen 3 Cheese Pizza with Cornmeal Crust is good on its own. The crust definitely helps it stand out from all the other cheesy pizzas. But it's even better when a smattering of mushrooms are thrown into the mix.
